Good question. A few years back we used to have a thriving Mickey Mouse darts league as well as the formal league. In fact right up until the end of 2010 the Mickey Mouse was still running, but when I was last in HH in December 2011 it seemed to have fallen by the wayside.
Two of the main bars which used to participate were Dicks Office in HH (now under new ownership) and Paradise in ChaAm on the Beach Road. Paradise in particular was a mainstay of the informal darts matches and was always well attended by players from HH. A lot of things went wrong, and a lot of the bars which used to take part no longer exist (or at least no longer have the same farang owners)
But if you are keen to get things going again I would suggest starting by going to Dicks Office, Paradise (Rogeir) as well as Billys Bar, and try contacting Jeaow and Dougie. People in town will all know them.
Bamboo Grove might be able to provide more info and guidance for you - best of luck!

I suspect that if a game (not a league) is what you are looking for, you could walk into almost any bar (with a dartboard of course, which is a lot) and just ask if anyone would like to have a friendly game.

I used to play and loved it but not being very good I would never join a league.

Edited for Barry... :D :D :D

Bit awkward having to carry one of them around with you all night looking for a game, though :shock: :wink: :duck:

I think you could try the place owned by the present dart league runners, Magic, on soi 94. Rune and Angkana have been active in the darts scenery for a long time.

... or Bobby's Bar on Soi 102. His place is active in leagues plus he sells imported professional quality equipment (darts, flights, boards, etc.).
